Operating Systems
Software Categories
Application software
Software written to address specific
needs—to solve problems in the real world
System software
Software that manages a computer system
at a fundamental level

Roles of an Operating System
Operating system
System software that
– manages computer resources, such as
memory and input/output devices
– provides an interface through which a human
can interact with the computer
– allows an application program to interact with
these other system resources

An operating system
interacts with many
aspects of a computer
system.
Roles of an Operating System
The various roles of an operating system
generally revolve around the idea of “sharing
nicely”
An operating system manages resources,
and these resources are often shared in one
way or another among programs that want
to use them
5
Resource Management
Multiprogramming
The technique of keeping multiple programs that
compete for access to the CPU in main memory at
the same time so that they can execute
Memory management
The process of keeping track of what programs are
in memory and where in memory they reside
6
Resource Management
Process
A program in execution
Process management
The act of carefully tracking the progress of a
process and all of its intermediate states
CPU scheduling
Determining which process in memory is executed
by the CPU at any given point
7
Batch Processing
The first operating system was a human operator, who
organize various jobs from multiple users into batches of
jobs that needed the same resources
8
Memory Management
Operating systems must employ techniques to
– Track where and how a program resides in memory
– Convert logical addresses into actual addresses
Logical address
Reference to a stored value relative to the program
making the reference
Physical address
Actual address in main memory
11
Memory Management
Program 1:
sum is assigned memory
location 23, a location
relative to Program 1
OS must map sum (relative location 23)
to a specific physical address
12
Figure 10.3 Memory is a
continuous set of bits
referenced by specific
addresses
Logical address for sum (23) is bound to a
physical address in memory before the
program runs
Paged Memory Management
Paged memory technique
A technique in which processes are divided into fixed-size
pages and stored in memory frames when loaded
Frame
A fixed-size portion of main memory that holds a process
page
Page
A fixed-size portion of a process that is stored into a
memory frame
We assume that a frame and a page are the same size
21
Paged Memory Management
Prog. 2, Page 2
Prog. 1, Page 3
Suppose our page size is 1024.
If Prog. 1 is running and
needs logical address 2566,
which page is it on?
Figure 10.7
A paged memory
management
approach
22
Paged Memory Management
Integer logical address is mapped into a
<page number, offset> logical address
Page number
Address divided by the page size (say 1024)
Offset
The remainder of the address divided by the page size
2566 DIV 1024 = 2
2566 MOD 1024 = 518 ==> <2, 518>
And???
23
Paged Memory Management
This new logical
address is mapped to
a physical address with
the help of a page-map
table (PMT)
Every program has a
PMT that shows into
which frame each page
of the program is
stored
What is the physical
address of <2, 518>?
24
Paged Memory Management
Demand paging
An extension of paged memory management
in which pages are brought into memory on
demand
Page swap
The act of bringing in a page from secondary
memory, which often causes another page to be
written back to secondary memory
25
Paged Memory Management
Virtual memory
The illusion that there are no restrictions on the
size of a program because an entire process
doesn't have to be in memory at the same time
Thrashing
Inefficient processing caused by constant page
swaps
26
Process Management
Process management
The act of managing the use of the CPU by
individual processes
Recall that a process is a program in
execution
What stages does a process go
through?
27
Process Management
The Process States
28 Figure 10.8 The process life cycle
Process Management
Process control block (PCB)
A data structure used by the OS to manage
information about a process, including
–
–
–
–
current value of the program counter
values of all CPU registers for the process
base and bound register values (or page tables)
accounting information
Each state is represented by a list of PCBs, one
for each process in that state
29
Process Management
There is only one CPU and therefore only one set of CPU
registers, which contain the values for the currently
executing process
Each time a process is moved to the running state:
– Register values for the currently running process
are stored into its PCB
– Its PCB is moved to the list of the state into which it goes
– Register values of the new process moving into the running
state are loaded into the CPU
– This exchange of register information is called a context
switch
30
CPU Scheduling
CPU Scheduling
The act of determining which process in the ready
state should be moved to the running state
– Many processes may be in the ready state
– Only one process can be in the running state, making
progress at any one time
Which one gets to move from ready to
running?
31
CPU Scheduling
Nonpreemptive scheduling
The currently executing process gives up the CPU
voluntarily
Preemptive scheduling
The operating system decides to favor another process,
preempting the currently executing process
Turnaround time
The amount of time between when a process arrives in the
ready state the first time and when it exits the running state
for the last time
32
CPU Scheduling Algorithms
First-Come, First-Served
Processes are moved to the CPU in the order in which they
arrive in the running state
Shortest Job Next
Process with shortest estimated running time in the ready
state is moved into the running state first
Round Robin
Each process runs for a specified time slice and moves
from the running state to the ready state to await its next
turn if not finished
33
First-Come, First-Served
What is the
average turnaround time?
34
Shortest Job Next
What is the
average turnaround time?
35
Round Robin
Every process is treated the same!
Time slice (quantum)
The amount of time each process receives
before being preempted and returned to the
ready state to allow another process its turn
36
Round Robin
Suppose the time slice is 50
What is the average
turnaround time?
37
CPU Scheduling Algorithms
Are these scheduling algorithms preemptive
or non-preemptive? Explain
